This will be the place I post my upcoming schedule with concerts, trips & other "important" stuff/happenings (a.k.a work for the most part)

( My Schedule )

So. If I can come up with things to write about (not like the retarded things I used to write about), I will start posting again.

Just my internet connection.
Just letting you know that random fact...

Wow. I haven't posted in almost a month... That has to be a new record.

I think I have a lot to write about, but I've been sick/still a little sick, and the work schedule has been unpredictable (as usual), so I haven't had the time to sit down and really write.

I should do a huge/long post about the Girugamesh trip. Because it was amazing, except for the Swedish hobo calling me an asshole. (I have no idea why)

I have some stuff to do and an exam to study for (I'll fail, but I like to give the impression that I'm actually trying), so the post won't be written this week.
This is more of a "Hello I'm alive!" post, in case anyone cares.

I got my paycheck today.

What I've gotten ordered this morning:
D'espairsRay ticket to the Stockholm live (WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!)
GazettE - DIM -Limited edition-
chariots - Ima Kiseki Kaerimiru - Yuigadokuson Kanzen Ban - Limited edition type A-
Girugamesh - ALIVE -Limited edition-
Girugamesh - Crazy Crazy Crazy
SEx Pot Revenge - Drug Tank Cap
Sex Pot Revenge - Dark Rich Travel Bag
Sex Pot Revenge - SID Ring Skull Wallet (For my brother, as a birthday present)
Chihiro Onitsuka - X/Last Melodie -Limited pressing-
Sugar - letter
*shhhhhh* Don't tell my Mom!!!

I hope the authorization time isn't all that long. Because I'll be needing those funds while I'm travelling. Only 4 days 'till I leave.

I hope the person with the Dir en grey Cap doesn't take all that long with invoicing me. I'm sort of suspicious to the account, of being a fake/scammer. But until proven wrong I won't be saying anything.

And now I'll be off to work. I hate the early shift!!! But the people today I can handle, unlike certain people.
( Random pics under ze cut )

I'm kind of sick of my general attitude. I'm such a negative person, and it's not really a benefit to anyone. I wish I could be more positive. And so now I will try to change myself.

I've noticed over the last days that when I can't buy stuff I get depressed and all emo over it. Even if it is something I don't really need/want. I need to get a hobby in order to stay away from the internet. I' drather be emo over the fact that they don't sell glitter at the local shops, than not being able to buy a dress online.

I looked at student apartments in Oslo yesterday, just to amuse myself, and get a general idea of what to expect. It was possible to get a 18m2 apartment in a very central location for 3800-4600kr. There was a lot of stuff included in the price, like TV, internett & power. The only thing you share with people was the kitchen. And since Mom is now withdrawing 5000kr each month, I will have the rent covered for a whole year. And the money I save up will be a bonus. How great isn't that?

This time next week I'll be sitting on the plane to Helsinki. I'm looking very much forward to it. 1 week off from work, hopefully seeing Natalie in Oslo, seeing Girugamesh twice and travelling. Ah good times. And this time I know where Klubben is located, so I won't miss the concert like the last time I saw Girugamesh.

( Cut for the mess )

Cellphone issues again...
It's been behaving the last week. But today when I try to connect it to my laptop shit happens. First it's working, but during transferring images it terminates the connection. And it's still charging, so I can't start over anytime soon. Even if it's already been recharged.
So i wait for hours and hours, but it's still not recharged (or the meter hasn't stopped moving), so I try to disconnect it, and try again. Nope. The computer says it's not connected while the cell says it is.
I am fucking sick of the problems!!! I'll have to go by the store on Tuesday if I don't fix it myself.
I just want it to fucking work. Is that too much to ask?

And to add to my frustrations:
- I was sick yesterday. Spending 4 hours over a toilet and a bucket. Was close to vomiting gastric acids (?). Painful
- my bank account only has 516kr
- my room is a complete mess
- and life in general is crap

That swedish girl was right:
"I don't want to die, I just don't want to live"

Gurh.... The sound my throat makes when I cough. I have gotten progressively sick this week. I started of with a sore throat, escalated to a cough, and yesterday I had fever and my limbs ached. I guess it's a cold / mild flu.
I did actually work 3 hours yesterday, but I couldn't do any more. Of course once I came home I felt much better. So I miss out on 4 hours of pay... Not good. The ammount of hours I have this month is already low, and missing out on the hours that are best paid is not good. Whatever. I'll manage somehow.

Payday is tomorrow I think. So I'll have to get my ass in gear and book flights and hotels. Of course the cheap option for Oslo is not available.
Scandic Marski Helsinki 1210kr per night = 2420kr
Scandic Byporten 1280kr per night = 2560kr
Alexandra 388kr per night = 776kr
Hotel total (extra fees not included)= 5756

Flights:
Helsinki - Oslo: 792kr
Oslo - Stockholm: 658kr
Flight total: 1450

Trip total: 7206

And since my pay is 16000 I still have 9000kr for other expenses.

----------
I replied CDJapan on friday and I haven't gotten a response yet. The thing that annoys me is that I don't have any proof of the fukuburo missing, since I've thrown away the box and I didn't take any pictures of it. I'll start doing that from now.
-----

Hmmm. I've been looking into the possibility of going to Hamburg as well for the may trip. It wouldn't be too expensive and going to a new country would be fun and a challenge since I speak very little German. (I've been in Germany before, but not alone) But... the damn ticket places doesn't have ordering information in English. So Fuck them!!! When I think about it I can't really afford it, so it wouldn't happen anyway. But I love planning and figuring out how to use the transportation systems.

------
Yes!!! I've found someone that sells the Kagrra Europe Tour T-shirt. And since I didn't get it then... I'll get it now, and the Girugamesh "We are real stupid" shirt. I was very disappointed when I didn't get it during the tour. And if I get money fast enough I'll also gte the GazettE t-shirt.
Now I'm only missing a Dio t-shirt. I know of one place that sells it, but it's size S, and my shoulders do not handle S.
And speaking of Dio. I've been drooling over Ivy's boots, and I've found a pretty good match over at Demonia. And I want them so badly!!!

The fact that that is a man annoys me like crazy.

I've found a way to order Vanguard of the Muses, but I'll wait until the release date and see if CDjapan or Yesasia has it listed. If not I'll try Brand-X
http://www.brand-x.jp/product/3686
I've had Vanguard on repeat the whole time I've been here.
-----
And now thanks to the usual crap of the month(which is yet again late btw) I'm in more pain and I think it's increasing the fever, because I'm nearly shaking here because I'm cold. I think I'll call Mom and ask her to pick me up. Because there is no way in hell I'm walking for 20 minutes when I feel like shit. I need to crawl under a blanket and lie there for the rest of the day.

Sooo...
I emailed them. And yesterday I got a reply.

Yes I checked. And replied.

Then today I got another reply.

"Hi,
Thank you for your taking your time.
Could I ask you one more question.
Did your packag seem to be opened someone when you received the package?
Sometimes the Customs opens package to check what's inside.
Because we have record that we surely sent, so we just wonder how it happened that the item is missing, besides it's quite big.
Should you require any assistance, please feel free to contact us again."

I checked... And when I opened it it was not any extra room for a missing fukuburo. So the record they say they have is bullshit! It had not been opened and there was no extra room for missing items. Bullshit indeed!!!

I wonder how long this is going to take.

My throat hurts, and I sound like Kayako from the Grudge. And in general life is crap.
Except for CD's being in Oslo, so I get them over the week-end.

OMG!!!!! I just found the Koda Kumi CD I've been looking for!!!! But I only have 400kr for the rest of the month.... But I have to have it!!! I'll place my bid tomorrow when I go up here to check if CDjapan has replied.
It's pretty clear why I have trouble saving money...

BLOODY FUCKING HELL!!!!!!!
CDjapan screwed up my order!!!
I ordered 2 fukuburos, but I only received 1 bag. I've written a complaint, and now we'll see how this goes. I hope they realize their mistake.
I've never had any trouble with them before, and I don't want to have it now. Since the damn bag cost 20,000 yen, and I had to pay the full value when paying the customs. And now I'll have to pay the customs for this item twice. Damn shite!!!!!!!!!!
I just hope I get the bag without further hassle.

Lies!!!! All lies!!!
The mail-tracking claims that the mailman left a note for me... I've searched everywhere, but no note. And since I have 400kr in my account, I can't get it at the mail office, because I'll have to pay the whole damn customs shit at once, which probably will amount to something closer to 1000KR, WHICH I'm about 600kr short of. Of course it could be less, but since I can't find the damn slip... I have no idea of knowing. Soooo... I'll have to wait a week before I can get the package, and by then the other package that was shipped today will have arrived, and the ammount will increase. I could persuade the monkey to lending me some, but I already owe him 200kr for another package. But the more I think about it, the more I am likely to do so. If only the damn money would answer his damn cellphone!!!

In short... I'm fucking broke, and I want my fucking fukuburos!!!
Too add to my financial despair... Girugamesh is coming out with a new single and DVD in June. And I want them!!!

The post about the Stockholm trip will be here tomorrow or alter today. Depending if my connection works, or if I can find my usb-stick.

You know... I don't have to stay at fancy hotels. I just need a place to store my baggage, a toilet and shower for me only, and a bed to sleep in.
Hotel costs:
3298kr for the cheapest options
8674kr for the most expensive options
Of course those numbers will probably be a lot higher when I have the money to book it. But it's better to have a rough estimate of what to expect.

It's only the flights I will be spending "much" money on. I'll pay what it takes to get a desirable flight time. I'm not flying first thing in the morning and not after 8 in the evening (in case of delays).

God. I suddenly have the urge to buy a DS and play Pokemon games. I think it's because so many of the girls at the jfash forum is playing it. And I've always wanted to try the Dog games, they look so cute. And the DS "machine" is on sale on some web-shop, 1555kr and they have it in pink! Or 1499kr with a game in some another shop. Or one with a Camera, (the new generation or whatever). I want to get one before the trip in may.

And I lost my Sex Pot Revenge glasses yesterday at the party, or rather the chef lost them. Lesson learned: Never let drunk people borrow things. Or in general, don't let anyone lend anything if I can't keep en eye on them. Especially if they can't be replaced easily.

And my Dad came over with some stuff for me yesterday. The lense solution and a delivery slip. As far as I can tell it's the gel-nail kit. And I have to pay 206kr to get it. So I borrowed 200 from my brother, so I won't have to cut the budget in Sweden even more.

-----
Written yesterday. Why must the connection always die???

I have 110Euro after the last Finland trip, and there isn't really any point in not using them. So I had them exchanged and put into my account. So I have 1600kr in Sweden. I won't buy any more than I already planned, but the safety of having some money in case something happens, that's comforting.

Tomorrow is the day. I'm not really realizing it yet. It seems as if it is still far of in time. I was hoping I would get the lense-travel-kit before leaving, but it's not even shipped yet... Oh well, I'll manage somehow. And the phone is also still at the repair shop. I want it now!
And I haven't started packing yet. I always get done 2-3 hours before the bus leaves, but up until that point I stress and sweat with no real reason to do so. I have gotten the luggage down from the attic (giving myself a heartattack in the process, I'm terrified of the ladder I have to use) and made mental notes as to what to bring. But no real packing as of yet.
This time I have to remember the map book, I forgot it the last time, and walked twice as much as I needed to.

I've been so absorbed in my Norwegian blog so I've forgotten about this place.
Blog
Let's see what's new...

I've gotten my TA scarf. My mom saw the note included and wanted to see it. She liked it and asked if she could borrow it sometime. Lol.

I've also gotten the bodyline coat. At first it didn't fit, then I did someting and I could button up all the buttons except for one, the button between the bust and the waist. And this morning I could button it up (yay for morning thin-ness), but the bust-waist buttoning looked a little weird. And I don't really have all that much weight on that area. We'll see if it looks better once I've lost weight, and if not, I'll sell it.

And the YesStyle package is according to the tracking in Molde right now (it was registered there around 7), and I'll probably get it tomorrow. Unless I spend a long time at Dad's house waiting for it, but i have work so that won't happen.

I also "ordered" a new earmuffler. With bunnyheads. Bunny in black I hope paypal is fast this time.

And since I've ordered new lenses I had to order more boxes and lense solution (or whatever). And I've gotten 2 separate confirmation mails. 1 for the order I made, and 1 for something I did not order (It's the solution I ordered, but I ordered more stuff). I mailed them for about an hour ago saying I hadn't ordered that, and just now I got a mail saying they've shipped it. I'm not in the mood or financial situation to deal with this. I'm praying that it's just that they've cancelled some items in the first order (if they weren't available) and given it a new ordernumber. Yeah right...
But when I check the tracking... (It didn't work when I tried it earlier) It seems they had cancelled the solution in the first order, and then given the solution a new ordernumber.
Ok... As long as I don't have to pay more in shipping I don't mind. And as usual I freak out over nothing...

-----
Written yesterday.

I got the package today. And 3 out of 9 fit properly (minus me looking fat), and the rest is no way in hell (at least with my current size). I should get all my measurements, and then I can buy stuff. I tend to forget that I have wide shoulders and back, so it's hard finding stuff at Yesstyle that fit. Knitted things can work, but the normal fabrics are more difficult and unstretchy.
So I should probably sell them... But as always I'll try to loose some weight before making a final desicion.
So now I'm a bit depressed. I also had to pay 214kr in customs and handling, so that cuts my budget while in Stockholm down to 500kr + 400kr for the Arlanda express. I have bought some nuts and dried fruit to eat while I'm there (almost 1 kg). I can't eat too much while I'm there, I can't afford it hehe.

And it almost seems as if the Norwegian meet-up is happening. So far we are 2-3. I think she should have started the topic earlier, so people would notice it and think about it, but I don't really care. It would probably only attract more "kids", and nyappy-kawaiiiiii-Miku-desu ne-neko-chan-caffekos is not something I look forward to.

taken from urban-dictionary
" Oda
A term used to describe a dumb or retarded event or person. Also can be used to describe something retarted done by another person. Can be used in replacement of "durr". "
... Even my name is against me...

And to add to my frustration, my mom looks good in the bodyline coat.
I think I'll go for a walk. To clear my head, get some excersize and some fresh air. I haven't taken one in ages, so I really should.

Correction...
I only have 2519kr in my account for the rest of the month... The money for some CD's hadn't been collected when I wrote yesterday. And I somehow forgot about it completely.
I should have waited till May to buy the camera. Damn!
I do have 1700kr in my Paypal... But I'm supposed to participate in a group-order over at Eurogal. But I honestly think it will be less hassle to buy it on my own. So I won't have to wait for the person receiving the package to send it to me. And pay extra...
Or screw it. And transfer the money back to my account. I need it for the clothes over at YesStyle.
And this underlines that I will have to take the subway to the hotel. And therefore I must pack light. I can do that. I'll just throw out half of the stuff I usually bring with me, but don't use... And if I remember correctly the hotel rooms are tiny, so too much stuff will just "crowd" the room.
So no "concert-shoes". I'll bring the sneakers with the built in heel. It give s me 8 cm extra, and the average nyappy-Swedish-caffeko (or whatever) probably isn't that tall.

And now I have to work 4 hours today. God knows why...

And to amuse myself (and pretend to be serious) I made a spreadsheet to calculate my paycheck. I've even managed to get the taxes and such included.
I like working with spreadsheets because I can actually understand it and that makes me feel smart. Not like in school and the retarded spreadsheet system there. No wonder I dropped out of that subject.

I think I'll try to clean my room when I come home from work. I spend way to much time in front of the computer, and it's the main source of my mindless spending. And I do need to clean my room, because it's barely possible to get to my bed. I need more shelves for the manga, DVD's and CD's.

And like I anticipated: I want my piercings back! But I can't get any done until every expense is covered (and I mean it now!). So not before May, or possibly June. But this time I won't get any on my upper-lip, because I look stupid with them. I managed to look somewhat normal with my "regular" lip piercings, but the medusa made it look crowded (my word of the day it seems) I might take out my monroe, but we'll see. Or perhaps I should have a piercing free year? I think I'll wait until June, and see what I feel like (and what the wallet allows). And if I somehow become comfortable with what I have, then I'll just postpone it.

-----
That was written before work.

Work was okay. Like always some people annoy me, and some are nice. But why must the annoying people be more noticeable?
I also managed to hurt my hand. God knows what went wrong, but I was in serious pain for 2 hours. It seem okay now though.

And what else...?
My Dad is back in the dating game. This time with a Filipino girl named Jemma (I think). She better be 40 something or I'll be mad at him. I don't want him to be one of the pathetic losers who'll have a 30 years younger wife, that clearly married him for the money. God! I'll try to talk to Dad myself (I got my info from Jørgen), and see what he says.

Ah. Now they've found everything but the ear muffler . How typical. The item I want the most is the one they have the most trouble finding, but the items I don't care much for they have in stock.

And I bought myself a camera yesterday. (So much for not spending more this month...)
10 MP so it's 2 MP more than my cellphone. I got insurance on it, because it seems that lately I've been unlucky with electronic equipment.

I also delivered my cellphone to the store. Apparently the time it spends in the repair place is less, but... They have to send in 3 phones at a time. And my phone was the second. So I'll have to wait for someone to be unlucky. I just hope I get it back before I go to Stockholm.

I took a quick walk to my Dad to check the mail. I have 3 packages and 4 magazines sent. I got Shoxx today. So now I'm only waiting for 6 packges.

I sort of have a feeling that the Norwegian meet-up for the An cafe concert won't happen. Not that I mind too much, but waiting alone in line is boring. But then again... the average age of the Norwegians going is 13-14... Soooo I think I'll line with my best friend, my iPod.
*remembers last year's concert... and the retarded conversations around me*

Christ! The prices of the Finnish hotels are quickly increasing! I'm soo screwed.
I have 4733kr to last the rest of the month. 400kr are going to the Arlanda Express, and then another 1000 on food and merch (I'm getting a T-shirt, nothing more). I have the money for the bus ready. And I have some Swedish money out already (from the failed Dio concert in november). And to save money I think I'll take the subway to the hotel. taking a cab isn't expensive, but I have a budget. I should get a Sugar daddy...

I just have to say I love Den Lille Havfrue (the little mermaid) by 9GOATS BLACK OUT.
Sooo beautiful!!!

And I think my cellphone is having another freak fest. I charged it yesterday and already it's down 1 bar ( I have barely used it) and after violin practice today it was warm again.
I love the phone, but I'm starting to contemplate getting a refund and buy a Nokia. I don't want my phone to blow up while in my pocket.
I have the day off tomorrow, so I'll go and complain again. How long was it now? less than a month. Good quality Samsung!

No more spending money this month... (it hasn't even started yet *cries*).
If I'm going to get the May-trip sorted out and paid I can't spend anymore. I have no idea how much I'll have once all the expenses for this month is cleared. I need to learn to restrain myself. I can't keep spending money like I'm currently doing. (Thank god the March trip is already paid for).

I've looked around. And I can get the whole trip for 9000kr (rough). It doesn't cover transportation (bus/trains). I could get it for about 1300kr less, but it would mean I'd have to spend 3 pointless days in Stockholm (and 2 nights at a crappy hotel). And I'm not that fond of Stockholm, so I'd rather spend the extra money to go see Natalie.


Numbers will only make sense for me... But I need to get it down.

The only problem I have is CDJapan's strange schedule of collecting money. If they collected it right after the package was sent or a week after I could time it better. But they have a erratic schedule, and I have to keep guessing.

Damn! I calculated a rough estimate of taxes/customs (I operate with the estimate that taxes are 1/3 of the price), and the outcome is 3000kr. Which makes the rough total over at CDJapan a whooping 13000kr. A.k.a: 1 paycheck. Of course I won't have to pay it all at once, since the packages are sent out separately.

I should just calm down. Things will work out. I'm just stressing out for nothing. Hopefully...
---------------------------
And now over to something more fun. I'm dying my hair tomorrow. It's my first time, and I have no idea what to do. So I'm looking into the topic. It'll be fun, and if it fails... Well I've learned something new. But I hope it works out. I really like the idea of white hair.
I should go to bed now, so I don't fall asleep while applying the dye and getting it in my eyes.

It's only 2 days until I get my paycheck and can order a shitload of stuff (and the hotel for Gøteborg... I haven't used the money you gave me yet Ane)
And I've found so many cute things over at YesStyle. And most of them are in a 150kr/ 24$ range. And I wants them. I'll be going Gyaru/lolita/visual kei and I need more gyaru-esque items... (and satisfy my shopping needs)

I have been eating unhealthy amounts of candy these last days. I blame the menstrual cra(m)p... I will have to lose weight to get the hormones to get back to normal. So candy really isn't the best thing for me right now. I need to get the cravings under control and regain my mental strenght.

I have to make myself a new playlist soon. The one I'm listening to only has about 2-3 hours of music left (I delete the songs of the playlist when I've heard them once).

At work I suddenly had the urge to take almost all of my facial piercings. I also had the urge to take a swing at people with the "Next customer" bar , Stupid ugly fucks). But that has nothing to do with this post.

I've "outgrown" piercings I think. I always knew this day would come, but I had hoped it would be father of in the future. I love piercings, and how they look on certain people.
But I feel that they limit me in a way. Or rather limit my fashion-directions. I can only be punk/visual-kei/ general alternative. But I want to try so many more styles.
I'll give it a week, and if I feel the same way. I'll take some of them out.
I'm keeping the nostril and center labret, and perhaps the monroe (left side upper lip). With those I can still feel pierced and still try new styles without looking completely clueless. I will see what to do with the new ones. Too bad that I'm sick of them after only a week... I think it's the Hitler-look I dislike...

It will also be better for my teeth and gums. Sooo... Everyone benefits.

BUT... I'm afraid that this could be one of my impulsive decisions, a week after taking them out I'll miss them like crazy. I wish that for once I could stick with my decision.

I could see it as sort of taking a burden of my shoulders. A new start. I'll have more options.

Oooo. Dad texted me about a package from France. Ooooo. I'll get up early to pick it up before work.
And my RTBU package left Gardermoen today. And that means 7 inch platforms next week.

Hmmm. I'm thinking of getting extentions. Not clip-ins. But real hair or whatever it is. I want long hair again. But getting my colour and the lenght I want would be really expensive (I'm thinking something like Tanaka Aina's lenght, can't find any pics of her tho'... But her hair is really pretty and long).
